Hazel on Christmas Morning...

I realize that my posts of late have not been sequential...sorry. This was hazel's first year to be aware of Christmas and presents--unfortunately each time we opened presents she would have rather been sleeping. On Christmas Eve we let her nap, and then she opened presents after the choas had cleared. The same could not be said for Christmas morning. We had a plane to catch at noon..sleeping until 10 was not an option. Let's just say she was less than pleased to have been woken up at 7:30--even for presents.She casually walked over to the things that Santa had left and swiped a doll {renee's doll}. The other two kids immediately started handing her present to unwrap. She insisted that Sarah Katherine {orum's youngest sister} was the ONLY person allowed to help her. She tore through a couple...

And then she unwrapped the box from Renée--it had a notebook, lots of stickers {for the plane ride}, a scratch-art project and PLAY-DOH! Once she saw the play-doh, she had to open it, squeeze it, and mix it! She left her other two presents unopened! I never though anyone could LOVE play-doh so much!
We have lots, but I suppose she has never played with it! These little cans of it was invaluable the following week!! Anytime she was fussy at Disney World, I just pulled it out! She played with it while we waited in lines, for food, and every time she got in the car! In fact, I am not sure who loved it more--me or her!!!
